        "summary": "Immigration officers in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, deported a 27-year-old Pakistani national identified as JR after he was found forcibly soliciting donations from mosque to mosque, reportedly demanding Rp 500,000 when offered Rp 100,000. He had entered Indonesia on a 60-day tourist visa, which he misused for fundraising that he said would pay for his children's schooling and support an educational institution in Pakistan. The case underlines enforcement of visa conditions under the 2011 Immigration Law and prompted authorities to urge residents to report suspicious foreign activity.",
        "content": "<p>A foreign national from Pakistan, identified as JR (27), has been\ndeported from Bima city, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), after being found\nforcibly soliciting donations from one mosque to another.<\/p>\n<p>JR was apprehended by Bima immigration officers while collecting\ndonations at a mosque in Pane Village, Bima city. His activities came to\nlight after residents reported that his behaviour was causing\nunease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJR was deported to his country of origin, Pakistan, on Wednesday\n(7\/10),\u201d said the Head of the Class II Non-TPI Bima Immigration Office,\nJoko Widodo, speaking to detikBali on Thursday (8\/10\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Joko said the Pakistani national had previously been reported by\nresidents for repeatedly seeking donations from mosque to mosque. The\nconduct was considered disturbing to residents and mosque administrators\nbecause JR demanded money forcefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to reports and witness statements from mosque\nadministrators, JR\u2019s solicitation was quite coercive. When he was given\nRp 100,000, he refused to accept it and instead forcibly demanded Rp\n500,000,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Following the report, Bima immigration officers conducted an\ninvestigation. JR was then detained while fundraising at a mosque in\nPane Village.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he was about to be detained, JR attempted to flee. However, he\nwas caught and taken to the Bima immigration office for further\nexamination,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Misuse of Visit Visa<\/p>\n<p>Joko said the examination revealed that JR was in Indonesia on a\ntourist visit visa valid for 60 days. However, the visa was misused to\nsolicit donations from mosque to mosque across the Bima city area as far\nas Sumbawa.<\/p>\n<p>JR admitted that the funds collected would be used to pay for his\nchildren\u2019s schooling in Pakistan and to support an educational\ninstitution he runs in his home country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJR was found to have misused a tourist visa to solicit donations\nfrom mosque to mosque. This is clearly a misuse of residence permit,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Joko added that JR\u2019s activities violated Article 122 letter a of Law\nNumber 6 of 2011 on Immigration. Following this violation, JR was\nformally deported to his country of origin after undergoing detention\nand immigration administrative procedures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on JR\u2019s case, we urge the people of Bima and Dompu to report\nimmediately if they find suspicious or disturbing activities by foreign\nnationals in their surroundings,\u201d Joko concluded.<\/p>",
